This is my updated bedroom battle station.
The monitor is a Gigabyte Aorus FO48U
The cooling system has been upgraded considerably, the stock heatsink was switched out for a ID-Cooling IS-40-XT, and the VRM heatsinks were taken from an old LGA-1150 motherboard.

System Specs:
Asrock BC-250 Crypto mining blade
16GB GDDR6 RAM
6x AMD Zen 2 cores @ ~3.5GHz.
24 RDNA 1.5 Compute Units @ 2.2GHz
Cooler master V650 80+ Gold PSU
Xbox Series X controller
Arch Linux (With Bazzite kernel)

Depends on the game.
Any games in particular?.
I'm not opposed to run a few benchmarks

#

My setup is kinda trash yet i get decent fps

#

Love the fact that u got the heatsinks from an 1150 mobo

#

Hell im running that as my main and my backup

Kinda like integrated graphics

twilit marlin
#

Also, it is GDDR6 for both, which has massive latency penalties

This thing has CL100

potent bough
#

Either cl 9 or 11

#

For me

#

Its Kingston Hyperx Genesis 4gb 1600 mhz pc3 12800

#

X4

twilit marlin
#

Something really cool is the fact that it has a 256 bit memory bus, even for the CPU

potent bough
#

Damn rly

twilit marlin
#

Unfortunately, I can't benchmark games like Call of Duty, Fortnite and Valorant

potent bough
#

šŸ„€

#

I dont play those anyways lol

#

I only do one...Asphalt Legends

twilit marlin
#

It would require me to install windows, which would kill the performance

twilit marlin
#

Oh no, that's not why

#

There are no GPU drivers for windows, AT ALL

potent bough
twilit marlin
#

you have to run Linux if you want to use the GPU

potent bough
#

I remeber reading about these crypto computers on toms hardware

#

Forgot about that fr

potent bough
#

But im still on Win 10 actually

#

Heard of the Win 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC?

twilit marlin
#

Absolutely

potent bough
#

Welp that mf was so good i put it on my bros pc

#

I uninstalled Edge LMAOO

#

Never done that before

twilit marlin
#

Seeing as Asphalt Legends is F2P... Want me to bench it on this bad boy?

potent bough
#

I get 60 fps solid, probably higher on maxed ultra settings

#

(No gaming monitor)

#

šŸ„€

#

And im on intel fucking 4th gen btw

twilit marlin
#

I still have that LGA 1150 board.
It works, even without the VRM heatsinks

twilit marlin
#

I actually used it as my backup system, when I was fixing my main rig

#

Good ol' 1150 still has some kick in it

#

@potent bough If you want to try a fun game, try Megabonk

#

Runs on a damn potato

#

At least until the late game

#

Also, Ultrakill.
If the audio breaks and it starts stuttering like crazy, you are playing it right

twilit marlin
#

Fun fact, you can push over your monitor's refresh rate for faster response

#

Reminds me to install heroic, so I can get all my Epic and GOG games

#

for me to join it forever i have to send a message every while

twilit marlin
#

OK, update.
I've gotten the CPU stable on 4.0GHz, I'll try to push it a bit harder tomorrow

potent bough
#

damn niice!

#

my cpu for some reason was crashing the OS and apps for seemingly no reason

#

.................until i undervolted it by 0.010v

#

now it works fine

twilit marlin
#

Oh yeah, elevated voltages can make electronics act super weird

potent bough
#

0_0

twilit marlin
#

Sometimes, old age can do that

potent bough
#

BIOS settings were all on auto and set to defaults

#

ye...undervolt solved it and no performance penalty either

#

still runs 3.1ghz +

lost yew
#

the only ps5 i am going to buy is the one that runs linux

twilit marlin
#

I could push it harder, but I'll need some beefier cooling for the VRM and VRAM first

twilit marlin
#

Runs hot as fuck tho
